I’m on a quest for soup cans in a new survival shooter. Road to Vostok makes a gunshot resonate like an apocalypse.

After multiple demos since 2022, it’s now on Steam with a final demo update, aimed at its early access release according to developer Antti.

In a realm where gun mechanics can feel sterilized due to health regeneration and respawning, this game amplifies the fear factor. One shot can halt you in your tracks as the tension mounts.

Players engage with a quiet yet immersive environment where the only sounds you’ll hear are the surroundings and your own movements. The atmosphere is punctuated by unsettling gunshots, reminding players that danger lurks around every corner. The goal of scavenging for resources becomes marred by the threat of formidable foes with firearms that behave in realistic, painstakingly detailed manners.

Explore this unique post-apocalyptic landscape, discover valuable items, and brace for moments that may define your survival experience. Kindling your surroundings and understanding the weapon dynamics are pivotal; reach for your next shot with intention, since every bullet holds weight.

Experience Road to Vostok and embrace its raw intensity firsthand.
